Bored Apes have become symbolic of the NFT craze. Horrendously ugly and ludicrously pricey, their value derives from artificial scarcity. It would therefore be a great shame if someone offered infinite free versions of the collectibles — which is exactly what Yannick Kilcher has done. The machine learning expert has built an app that generates as many Bored Apes as your heart desires.
